We left Sidney, Nebraska this morning at 8 AM-on time for us-to make a run across Nebraska.   Today’s drive was 530 miles total, not the 600 I projected yesterday.  We drove East for hours across the relatively unchanging scenery.

We entered the Central Time Zone in the middle of Nebraska around 9:30 AM MT and immediately lost an hour.  We kept on keeping on until we arrived in Lincoln, Nebraska around 12 Noon CT.  We found a post office near the state Capitol.  Joyce got a few documentary photos of the Capitol.

Then on our way! We took a state highway out of Lincoln (rt. 2) which took us through Iowa.  We had not expected to transit in this state, but a change in our route resulted in a stop at the Iowa Welcome Center.  We got a map, signed the log and found a geocache!  We were in Iowa for about 30 minutes and at least 10 of them were dedicated to extracting a nano geocache container from a park bench.

On to Missouri!  Our night is in downtown St. Joseph.  When we arrived at 5:30 PM the streets had been rolled up.  Checked into the Holiday Inn, edited some photos for submission to DPS competition.  Due by Friday midnight ET.  Joyce’s are in; Gary has to do his before Friday.  Here’s hoping we have better internet access tomorrow night!
